A new book by Alexander Shirvindt. This is not literature and not a meticulous biographical reference. This is a jumble of memories.
What am I? Born in the USSR, living through socialism with a capitalist face (or the other way...
around).
I think cloning was invented by Gogol in "The Marriage": "If only the lips of Nikanor Ivanovich could be attached to the nose of Ivan Kuzmich..." So, if this goes here, and this goes there, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Cloning one's own biography doesn't come together. What has turned out, has turned out! Bear with it!
So, "Passageways of Biography". The route is simple: from the very beginning, from the maternity hospital, to, thank God, not yet the very end.
I wanted to nostalgically stroll through the "passageways of biography". If, due to age, we encounter a sclerotic barrier, we will bypass it through other passageways. Why is this necessary? First, so that the current ones do not repeat our mistakes, and second, so that they would urgently want to repeat them...
"As Pushkin wrote: 'And the dust of ages, shaking off from the documents, will rewrite truthful tales...' Recently it came to my mind that to rewrite doesn't mean to refresh, but to provide another version. It's very scary when your life will be rewritten.
You will die, and all your beds, letters will be rummaged through. Thus, gradually individuality turns into versions of researchers.
Or they might even confuse you with someone else..."
